And President Obama just announced he's on the warpath -- and he's not taking any prisoners.

Dominic, this is an all-out EMERGENCY.

And unless you act today, I'm afraid we'll be staring at a gun control nightmare.

At a press conference immediately following the Connecticut shooting, President Obama made his intentions clear: He's prepared to ram his anti-gun agenda down our throats.

And sadly, the national media is more than willing to help him get his wish . . .

MSNBC anchors are calling for outright gun "confiscation!"

Even prominent Republican backers like Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch is loudly calling for new gun control schemes, and Fox News commentator Bill Kristol is calling for "serious hearings."

The establishment gun lobby is nowhere to be found, deleting their Facebook page in an effort to run and hide from the fight.

And all their phony "friendships" are finally being exposed for exactly what they are.

You see, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid -- who they handed nearly $5,000 to during his last reelection -- just announced plans for Senate movement on gun control.

And another NRA "A-rated" Democrat, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, is joining others saying he's changed his mind on gun control.

Even supposedly "pro-gun" Republicans, like Senator Chuck Grassley (IA), Lindsey Graham (SC) -- even Marco Rubio (FL) -- are happily playing into the gun-grabbers hands by calling for a total review of our gun laws!

If all this sounds like a recipe for disaster, it's because it is . . .

With the national media as their accomplice, they drive up mass hysteria, fear and IGNORE basic facts that don't fit their anti-gun agenda, like:
>>> "Gun Free Zone" signs do not protect anyone from violent madmen;

Like we saw in the Aurora movie theater and the Newtown, Connecticut Elementary School, all these signs do is guarantee killers never face anyone who can defend his or herself;

>>> Guns don't commit crimes. Criminals do;

In fact, guns are used 2.5 MILLION times every year to deter or stop crimes. In fact, at the recent mall shooting in Portland, Oregon, the gunman took his own life after being confronted by a shopper carrying a concealed handgun. And there are literally dozens of stories of shootings being stopped by legally-armed citizens over the past few decades;

>>> Gun Control DOES NOT WORK. PERIOD.

Anti-gun utopia Mexico -- whose anti-gun laws are so harsh it has only one gun shop in the whole country -- is virtually owned by violent gangs who don't beg "permission" from government officials before they get their hands on guns.

This is exactly what's happening right now.

So if you want to ensure your Second Amendment rights are protected into the future, I'm counting on you to act IMMEDIATELY.

Being involved in the fight has never been more important.

First, I need your signed Second Amendment Protection Petition to help drown out the anti-gun spin machine with today.

In the coming weeks I'll flood Congress with tens of thousands of pro-gun petitions proving you and I are serious about protecting our rights and we're not backing down!

Unfortunately, it gets worst.

After the results of the 2012 elections, the gun-grabbers were already demanding action from President Obama and his anti-gun Democrat allies.

Michael Bloomberg and Sarah Brady went to bat for President Obama in two straight elections, and they want something to show for their efforts.

Now, President Obama believes he's been handed the perfect "excuse" to enact a laundry list of anti-gun schemes, including:
*** The UN "Small Arms Treaty." This dangerous Hillary Clinton-backed Treaty is nothing more than a massive GLOBAL gun control scheme designed to register, ban and confiscate firearms from law-abiding citizens;

*** A new so-called "Assault Weapons" Ban. President Obama loudly supported passage of a new ban during his reelection campaign, and Senator Diane Feinstein just announced she'll be introducing a new bill in the new Congress;

*** Mandatory federal political "mental illness" screening to buy a firearm. Should such a scheme pass, the federal government would be granted the new power to strip away the Second Amendment rights of any American at will -- just because they don't like your race, your religion or the political candidates you support;

*** Sweeping ammo bans or bans on magazines holding just a handful of rounds. With any one of these schemes, Congress could effectively outlaw many commonly-owned rifles and handguns.

That's why it's so important you act IMMEDIATELY.

Without our action, the ONLY voices the politicians will be hearing will be that of the gun-grabbers and their pals in the media.

If that continues, you and I will lose and lose BIG. Bank on it.

The good news is, you and I can fight back.

But we must mobilize quickly.

We must ensure every politician in Washington, D.C. understands America does not need new gun control laws . . .

It's more freedom.

It's more good guys armed with the power and the ability to stand up to deranged bloodthirsty loons and STOP them.

You know how we'll make the politicians understand that?

By ensuring every single one of them knows they'll pay the price with their political careers for voting for gun control schemes.

But to do that I'm going to have to mobilize Second Amendment supporters from all over the country.

I'm throwing the switch and now on a quest to acquire a Thureon this weekend. The ban is coming.

There's no way it will include confiscation or a mandatory turn-in. They may be bold enough to require it to be stored at a range but even that will get a quick NO from most legislators.

Rehydrating the original 1994 AWB is the most likely scenario.

So it will be like last time around---buy something you know will be banned, watch the price shoot up like a mofo for a "pre-2013" weapon. Buyer has to pay for the transfer, checks and the works... you only have to pay for the gun and the stamp.

The bad news is that a new AWB probably won't have a sunset, will it?

Question. The Pennsylvania gun "registry" or whatever.... that can be used to confiscate right?

As I understand it: Not as long as the Bill of Rights exist, the fourth amendment in particular and ex post facto. This means you would get to keep what you have, but you wouldn't be able to get anything additional. While they can't take them, they can make you question the wisdom of further ownership. The only option I'm aware of might be formal registration & taxation as in NFA/Title II style. MGs are $200 a pop for "registration" everytime it changes owership, fortunately that's a one-time expense.

If the bill of rights or ex post facto is nullified, then all bets are off.

Personally (and this is my opinion, I have nothing to substantiate this), I wouldn't sweat a .45 if you're referring to a 1911. It doesn't meet most of the "assault weapon" criteria except for being self-loading ("semi-automatic"). What's more, the mags are 7 round capacity. I could see the high capacity 1911 mags vanishing though. Now if you have an itch for a 45 and this is pretext, then by all means, scratch. Please be advised that it's bedlam in the firearm supply sector right now, and it appears gouging has already started.
